Things Others Are Responsible For
Movies In Which People Throw Swords
This is a list of movies in which someone throws a sword and skewers another person (or object) with it, in defiance of the laws of physics. It does not include axes, spears, tridents, daggers, knives, or any fantasy weapons (Xena's Chakram, Beastmaster's Caper (sp?), or Krull's Glaive) that could plausibly be thrown in some fashion. Only swords.
